New Zealand Play Money Pack

The New Zealand Play Money Pack is a valuable hands-on learning resource designed to help young learners understand money concepts, basic numeracy, and financial literacy. Featuring realistic but clearly labelled play money, this set includes 180 pieces of New Zealand currency replicas-100 coins and 80 notes-along with eight activity cards to support interactive learning. The notes and coins are slightly different in size from real currency to comply with counterfeiting regulations while maintaining an authentic look. Made from durable plastic, this set is designed for repeated classroom use, allowing students to engage in role-playing activities, shopping games, and money-based problem-solving exercises. Whether used for maths lessons, financial literacy discussions, or imaginative play, this pack helps children develop confidence in handling money in real-life situations.
